Answer:

  A The line segments are parallel, and the image is twice the length of the given line segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation by a factor of 2 means any measure of the image is 2 times the corresponding measure of the original.

Dilation does not change any orientations, so the image will have the same orientation with respect to the origin, axes, or any other line segments. That means the dilated segment is parallel to the original. (If the center of dilation is <em>on</em> the original line segment, the dilated segment will overlay the original segment. That is specifically <em>not</em> the case here.)

In this circle we have major arc RQ which is the really big one measuring 40x, and we have minor arc RQ, which is what we are looking for.  Minor arc RQ is double the measure of the angle that intercepts it.  That means that minor arc RQ is 2(12x-12), which is 24x - 24.  The measure of the outside of any circle will always and forever be 360 degrees;  therefore, 40x + 24x - 24 = 360.  Combining like terms gives us 64x = 384 and x = 6.  Now sub in that 6 for the x in the angle 12x - 12 to get that that angle measures 12(6)-12 = 60.  Again, the angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts, so minor arc RQ is 120 degrees, third choice down.

Mary ran 2 miles in about 23 minutes. If she continued at the same pace, how long will it take her to run 10 miles?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:115 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Set you problem 2/23 = 10/x

X represents the number of minutes you are trying to figure out. Cross multiply to get 2x=230. Decide both sides by 2 to get x=115

What is the equation that you get when you put together the two<br> equations below?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 5y = 19 → (1)

y = 3x - 3 → (2)

Substitute y = 3x - 3 into (1)

2x + 5(3x - 3) = 19

Which is the best estimate for the percent equivalent to 3/8​
Doss [256]

Answer:

D. 38%

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 as a percentage is 37.5% and that is rounded to 38%! :) 37% is close but it is not rounded making it not the best estimate, therefore it is not correct.
